Section I

Compensation policy adopted by the Issuer and procedures applied.

DiaSorin's compensation policy illustrated in this Report is implemented with the support of the Compensation Committee and is based on the principles of meritocracy and fairness. Accordingly, the policy, methods and compensation tools adopted are clear, fair, easy to communicate and consistent with DiaSorin's organizational culture. Periodically, or in response to Company dynamics, the Group's compensation policy is benchmarked against the outside market, using comparative analysis.

DiaSorin's current compensation policy is structured differently by category. Specifically, a different compensation policy is used for members of the Board of Directors and Strategic Executives.

DiaSorin adopted a compensation policy for Strategic Executives that calls for incentives tied to the Company's profitability, together with management retention, and may include corporate incentive plans that entail stock option grants.

As provided by Related Parties Regulations and ratified in the DiaSorin Related Parties Transactions Procedure – available on the Company's website at www.diasorin.com, in the section "Investors/Governance/ Governance System" – the approval of the Compensation Policy by the Shareholders' Meeting exonerates the Company from applying such procedure in resolutions of the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration of Directors and Strategic Executives whenever these resolutions are consistent with the Compensation Policy.

Corporate bodies or individuals involved in the drafting and approval of the compensation policy, specifying the respective roles, corporate bodies and individuals responsible for the correct application of the policy

Main individuals and corporate bodies involved in the drafting and approval of the Compensation Policy are the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors:

  • appoints among its members a Compensation Committee ;
  • defines the Remuneration Policy upon proposal of the Compensation Committee and approves the Report on Remuneration, pursuant to article 123-ter, TUF, and article 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation;
  • consistent with the Compensation Policy, it determines the remuneration of Directors holding particular proxies, after receiving the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee, within the total amount resolved by the Meeting pursuant to article 2389, comma 3, second paragraph of the Italian Civil Code, and article 21 of the By-laws;
  • drafts possible stock option plans and share-based benefit plans for Directors, employees and associates, including Executive with strategic responsibilities, submits them to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to article 114-bis, TUF, and oversees their implementation.

Compensation Committee

The Issuer's Board of Directors, consistent with the provision of the Stock Exchange Regulations and the Corporate Governance Code, established an internal Compensation Committee comprised of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent Directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for:

  • submitting to the Board of Directors proposals, concerning the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and all other Directors who perform special tasks, and monitoring the proper implementation of approved resolutions;
  • submitting to the Board of Directors general recommendations concerning the compensation of DiaSorin Group Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, taking into account the information and indications provided by the Chief Executive Officer, and assessing on a regular basis the criteria adopted to determine the compensation of the abovementioned executives.

The Compensation Committee will also be expected to participate in defining any future stock option plans that may be later approved by the Issuer's relevant corporate governance bodies.

The Compensation Committee submits proposals to the Board of Directors as to the remuneration of Executive Directors and of other Directors holding particular positions, Executive with strategic responsibilities in addition to the setting of performance objectives related to the possible variable component of remuneration, monitoring the application of decisions adopted by the Board and verifying in particular the actual achievement of performance objectives;

The Compensation Committee assesses periodically the adequacy, overall consistency and application of the Compensation Policy for Executive Directors and other Directors holding particular positions and Executives with strategic responsibilities.

Finally, the Compensation Committee exercises the powers and the functions described in the following Sections of this Report.

The Compensation Committee elected on April 22, 2013 is comprised of the following Directors: Giuseppe Alessandria (Independent Director) who serves as Chairman, Roberta Somati (Independent Director) and Michele Denegri (non-executive Director). Further details about members and functions of the Compensation Committee are provided in the "Report on Corporate Governance and the Company's Ownership Structure" pursuant to Article 123-bis TUF and yearly published by the Company on the website www.diasorin.com (Section "Investor Relations/Corporate Governance/Corporate Governance System").

Shareholders' Meeting

With regard to remuneration, the Shareholders' Meeting:

  • determines the overall compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to article 2364, paragraph 1, n. 3, and where appropriate of article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, and of article 21 of the By-laws;
  • votes to approve Section I of the Compensation Report drafted by the Board of Directors.

Compensation of the members of governance bodies

Pursuant to Article 16 of the Bylaws, Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their office. In addition, they are provided with an annual compensation approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting that elects them. The Shareholders' Meeting may set a total amount as compensation for all of the Directors, except for those who have been delegated to perform operational functions, whose compensation is determined by the Board of Directors with the input of the Board of Statutory Auditor. Alternatively, the Shareholders' Meeting may exercise its right to set a total amount as compensation for all of the Directors, including those entrusted with special tasks.

The fee awarded by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for its term of office as a cumulative amount is allocated by the Board of Directors, based on the input of the relevant internal consultative bodies, taking into accounts the functions performed, the posts held and they key roles played by the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, and covers only the fixed compensation component for the different posts held during the term of office.

These amounts do not apply to any special tasks assigned pursuant to Article 2389, Section 2, of the Italian Civil Code.

The Deputy Chairman receives a specific compensation based on the position held. Please note that no compensation is provided for members of the Board of Directors who already receive compensation for their managerial employment relationship with the Issuer. The compensation of Independent Directors is the same for all them. Independent Directors who serve as Chairman of Nominating Committee, Control and Risks Committee and Compensation Committee receive a further ad hoc compensation in addition to the Director compensation.

There is no variable bonus system or stock option plan for Director. Moreover, when a Director is also a Company executive, DiaSorin will pay no fee for serving on the Board of Directors and such post will be granted and accepted without compensation.

Compensation of General Managers and other Executives with strategic responsibilities

The compensation policy of the General Manager and Strategic Executives develops the "pay for performance" principle and it is aimed at achieving an optimum convergence of the value received by Executives and the market value with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. This policy is based on an in-depth assessment performed by the Compensation Committee, based in part on benchmarking analyses aimed at comparing the compensation awarded by publicly traded companies with comparable capitalization. In 2014 the Company availed itself of the consultancy services provided by independent expert of Hay Group who conducted a benchmarking analysis on the remuneration of Strategic Executive.

The gross annual compensation includes a fixed portion, based on the post held, the level of personal competencies and the assigned responsibilities, and an important variable portion (Variable Incentive or Target Bonus) tied to operating performance, which is a key objective in terms of the value creation task assigned to Strategic Executives.

The Target Bonus representing the variable portion of the annual compensation is paid in a lump sum, usually in March, after the Board of Directors has approved the actual operating results for the previous year, as certified and approved by the relevant corporate and auditing functions.

Executives are also beneficiaries of the Company's stock option plans, which are designed to retain these Executives and reward them based on the increase in the Company's value

(in terms of value of DiaSorin stock price on the market), providing a vesting period for the options granted. The details of these plans were disclosed in the Information Memoranda posted on the Company website www.diasorin.com (Section "Investors Relations/Information for Shareholders/Stock Options Plans").

Exercise of options does not require the attainment of performance targets, therefore, no procedure are envisaged for the review of the plans in relation to possible variations in the basic target.

The principles steering the above described compensation policy for the Strategic Executives shall apply both to the Company and, if necessary, to similar key figures of major companies belonging to DiaSorin Group.

Benchmarking against the reference market for the compensation of the General Manager and Director with Executive Duties

In addition to the abovementioned principles of fairness and meritocracy, DiaSorin uses a market compensation analysis, based on a job grading system with the aim of verifying the standing of its General Manager and Strategic Executives vis-à-vis a panel of other companies operating in the European market1 .

Lastly, the Company provided the General Manager and the Senior Corporate Vice President Commercial Operations with a stability commitment aimed at extending the protection available to Executives under the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Executives in the event that, for reasons other than just cause, the employment relationship is terminated due to serious fault by the Company or objective hardship caused by major organizational changes, with or without change in the Company's reference shareholder (see Section II of this document).

Procedure to manage the variable portion of the annual compensation of the General Manager and Strategic Executives

In 2015, the objective parameter used to determine the variable portion of the compensation (Target Bonus) of the General Manager and the Senior Corporate Vice President Commercial Operations, who serve also as Directors, was the EBIT amount in the budget approved by the Board of Directors, whereas the variable portion of the compensation of Strategic Executives was the EBIT amount with a weight ranging from between 25% and 50% recognized on the basis of their actions.

The amount of the variable bonus for achieving 100% of budgeted EBIT is equal to 50% of the fixed portion of the annual compensation of the General Manager and an amount ranging between 35% and 50% of the fixed compensation for the other Strategic Executives.

The variable bonus can vary based on how actual results diverge from the budget: up to a maximum of 30% for actual results that are equal to or exceed the EBIT budget target by 30% or more (the percentage increase of the bonus is directly related to the improvement of the actual result above the target parameter, up to a maximum of 30%).

1Benchmarking analysis carried out with the support of the consultancy company Hay Group.

If actual EBIT are lower than the budgeted target, the bonus is cut in half if actual EBIT are equal to 95% of budgeted EBIT and is completely eliminated if the actual EBIT amount is less than 95% of budgeted EBIT.

For actual amounts that fall between 95% and 100% of budgeted EBIT, the bonus is reduced proportionately.

The bonus paid to the Strategic Executives is based on the evaluation of the General Manager and proportionally recognized on the basis of their actions. The variable bonus based on the actual EBIT amount is paid to the General Manager and Strategic Executives in a lump sum, , also on the basis of the final results certified by the competent corporate and audit functions and approved by the Board of Directors.

The variable bonus paid to the General Manager and Strategic Executives is submitted to the Compensation Committee.

The procedure for the management of the variable portion of the annual compensation allows the Company and its subsidiaries to reclaim, in whole or in part, the variable components of the remuneration that were paid (or to hold deferred payments), as determined on the basis of data which subsequently proved to be manifestly misstated.

Revision of compensation of Directors who perform executive functions and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities as of January 2015

As of January 2015 the Issuer, following the input of the Compensation Committee, deemed it appropriate to revise the compensation of General Manager consistent with benchmarking data in the reference market.

In January 2015 the Issuer approved the adjustments to the following compensations:

  • Gross annual compensation: 700,000.00 Euros (+24.63% compared with the previous year)
  • Target Bonus (Variable): 350,000.00 Euros (+25% compared with the previous year)

With regard to 2015, the ratio of the annual gross compensation of the General Manager and the average of the compensations of all other employees of the Issuer is 16.63.

Furthermore, as of January 2016, the Company approved the adjustments to the following compensations:

  • Gross annual compensation: 800,000.00 Euros (+14,28% compared with the remuneration at January 2015)
  • Target Bonus (Variable): 400,000.00 Euro (+14,28% compared with the bonus at January 2015).

No adjustments to the gross annual compensation of the other Strategic Executives were defined in 2015. Nevertheless, as of January 2016 the adjustments to the following compensations were approved:

  • For the Senior Corporate Vice President Commercial Operations ("Chief Commercial Officer" as of January 2016):

  • Gross annual compensation: 385,000.00 Euros (+10% compared with the previous year)

  • Target Bonus (Variable): 192,500.00 Euros (+10% compared with the previous year).

For the other Strategic Executives, adjustments of gross annual compensation between 8,7% and 10% were approved, always with effect as of January 2016, with consequent Target Bonus (Variable) adjustment.

Finally, the General Manager adopted for the Strategic Executives who report to him directly a 2016 incentive plan that estimates a Group target (EBIT), with a variable weight ranging between 25% and 100% of the total Target Bonus.

The structure of the incentive plan for the General Manager is unchanged compared with previous years and is measured exclusively on Group EBIT.

Fringe benefits

Pursuant to the policy adopted by the Issuer for fringe benefits 2 , the award of such benefits to Strategic Executives, including the two Executives who serve on the Board of Directors, is consistent with the relevant Company procedure or the reference national collective bargaining agreement. Specifically, regarding the company car, the policy currently in effect at DiaSorin calls for the use of a company car of the "Direttori" class.

No insurance, retirement or pension benefits, other than those required pursuant to law, collective and supplementary agreements, are provided to any Strategic Executive.

Severance indemnity

The Remuneration Policy makes provision that payments made on leaving office or termination of the employment relationship are regulated under the existing contractual relations with Executive Directors and Executives with strategic responsibilities.

All of the items in this table refer to compensation provided by the company that
prepares the financial statements.

* In addition to Mr Rosa and Mr Even, Strategic Executives include Mr Ronchi, Mr Colotta and Mr De Angelis (the compensation of these last three is shown as an aggregate amount under "Other Strategic Executives"). ** No profit sharing is provided, without prejudice to the right to receive dividends if a party is a shareholder or is otherwise entitled to receive dividends.

1 Fixed compensation for work performed as an employee, including social security contributions and taxes payable by employees, but excluding collective social security contributions payable by the Company and the addition to the provision for severance benefits. The fixed compensation includes the gross annual compensation, without bonus, actually disbursed as of December 31, 2015 (therefore, if a Strategic Executive is hired during the year, the amount actually disbursed is shown, i.e., the amount from that date of hire plus the one-month year-end bonus).

2 It is the value of the fringe benefits (consistent with a taxable amount approach). Consequently, fringe benefits refer to the Company car benefit.

3It is an indemnity for termination of the employment relationship paid if certain conditions are met (Stability Agreement). The table above shows the gross amounts provided under the "stability agreement" executed with Messrs Rosa and Even.

These amounts should be viewed as hypothetical payments for 2015 reporting year and that would be due if the employment relationship with either Mr Rosa or Mr Even should be terminated unilaterally by the Company or if either executive should resign.

These amounts have been calculated on the basis of gross annual compensation used to compute the provisions for severance benefits (fixed compensation), hypothesis of 2015 Bonus payment (Bonus and other incentives) and fringe benefits, as previously shown. Specifically, the indemnity hypotheses used were 36 months of the gross annual compensation used to compute the provisions for severance benefits for Mr Rosa and 24 months of the gross annual compensation used to compute the provisions for severance benefits for Mr Even. These amounts could be subject to change, as they refer to the risk of economic exposure in the reference year (here 2015).

4 Compensation amounts that vested, but were not disbursed, during the year for targets achieved during the year under monetary incentive plans. The amounts shown above refer to the hypothetical disbursement of bonuses (gross amounts) in March 2016 for the 2015 reporting year, which is when the bonuses accrued. In 2015, if the cost is computed on a cash basis instead of an accrual basis, the following bonuses were paid for targets achieved in 2014: C. Rosa: 0.00 euros; C. Even: 0.00 euros; Other executives: 60,000.00 euros (the Other Executive cluster includes: Mr Colotta, Mr De Angelis, Mr Ronchi).
